Hi,

since your example doesn't compile, if I make it compile it produces
terrible output and because you omitted the version and probably
confused Tie and Slur I'm absolutely not sure, though, maybe:

\version "2.16.1"

%\paper { ragged-right = ##f }

\new Staff {
        \override  Hairpin #'minimum-length = #8
         << {d''1~ d''1 } { s1 s4\p\> s8 s s s s s\ppp } >>

}


Please, it's the end of a hard week and I can't stand devine what
people want any more:
